Jaska finally makes a full pass, SuperTwin 6.01
Discussion
Just an hour ago, Jaska Salakari had a reward for sticking to his concept,
when he did a world best 6.01 / 342 at Alastaro.
What an achievement, designing, building and riding his DOHC, sequentially injected, blown, clutch-only V-twin, WOW.
In the Pod pits, I witnessed a great discussion with Willemse who thought it was physically not possible to bring a SuperTwin into the 5s,
Jaska thought it was possible and today he almost proved it.
I am sure he will not stop before he reaches this ultimate goal and wish him success.
His front-halves and back-halves were often the quickest of the weekend, last week´s 6.2 clicking off past the 1/8 showed
that he finally seems to have a handle on the tuneup, difficult when you can´t ask anyone in the pits.

..........aaaaaaaaaaand he managed to get a container space,
Jaska will join the other Euro Riders in the Manufacturer´s Cup Final in Valdosta next weekend.
I don´t know if there is some coverage of that in TV or net but hope he runs THAT 5,
on the 6.01 (or .02 in Tog´s calculation) he clicked off way before the traps.
